NIT Calicut - National Institute of Technology Answered Questions

Hi Dinesh, Congrats as you scored good marks in JEE paper 2 but unfortunately closing rank in these both NITs is 1138 at round 3 and round 6 respectively. So there is less chance to get seat in these but don't loose hope. You may also get seat here if your luck helps you. Remember to stay in contact with both colleges for more details. Thanks.

Check for the Home State NIT first. Also this year's round 1 counselling ranks at: https://josaa.nic.in/webinfocms/Public/View.aspx?page=71.
Best of luck.

JEE Mains serves as the entrance exam for the various B.Tech/B.E programmes of NITs,IIITs and CFTIs and as the preliminary exam for the IITs. You can get into NIT's if you have qualified the JEE Mains exam. So, if you have qualified JEE Mains and secured a good or decent rank, you can get admission into our college.

One may find NITs attractive due to their NIT tag, but frankly speaking, all NITs don't stand up to that reputation. For people who have no or little idea about IIITs, I would like to tell them that the 4 IIITs (Allahabad, Jabalpur, Gwalior, Kancheepuram) are institutes of National Importance, just like any other NIT, and focus on the field of Information Technology exclusively (unlike NITs). Moreover, IIIT Jabalpur has an upper hand over the above NITs as it has a collaboration with universities of Japan. So I would suggest going with the following preference: IIIT Jabalpur, then NIT Jalandhar, then NIT Raipur.

Hi,
All the three of them is good, but you have to choose one of them. IIEST Shibpur Mechanical is ranked at 7th above IIT Kanpur, IIT BHU and BITS Pilani by Edu-Rand a Highly Reputed Indo - American Ranking organization. MHRD / NIRF Ranked IIEST at 7th by Research Parameter At Par with IIT Roorkee - just after six old IITs, but above all other IITs and above all the NITs in the Country. Overall, IIEST Ranked at 20 by MHRD / NIRF above many IITs and Above All NITs except three. Mechanical Engineering in IIEST Shibpur is surely one of the Best Departments in India and definitely better than NIT Allahabad or NIT Culicut by any measure. IIEST has Glorious Record of Producing Brilliant Engineers serving across the Globe and many of them are World Leaders in Engineering in USA / UK / Canada as well as in India. The placement of the mechanical branch is quite good at NIT Rourkela. Core companies like Tata steel, Vedanta, Tata motors, Maruti - Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra and many more visit our campus every year and recruit meritorious students as Graduate engineer Trainees. Sometimes PSUs also come NIT Rourkela because it is one of the top NITs. Fortunately last year Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) also come for recruitments. Average package of Core Company is more than 8 LPA. Any of the two institute you choose you will be befitted for sure. I would suggest you for NIT Rourkela or IIEST shibpur where ever you are comfortable as it holds good placement record and better future. All the best for your future. Thank you.

There you may get an idea of your selection. Best of Luck!

Hello Karthik, Aah! You are in a typical Shakespearean dilemma! Calicut as well as Nagpur, both NIT' s have quite good reputation. Therefore I would like to advise you that you can take admission in the NIT which is convenient to access and commute from your home.
